I'm with you guys. MY 91 z 305tpi has this problem. The 91 b4c 350tpi doesn't. I know the problem isn't the cluster, i changed mine. It also causes the gas gauge to act funny. I'm leaning torwards a ground problem

Mine did the same thing. I replaced the entire cluster and it works now. Though the factory tachs are known for their poor quality. I have an RS, so it might be a different problem, though I doubt it.

I know exactly what is wrong. Pull the cluster , the contact points on the circuirt card where the gages are attached is only pressed on. If you are good with solder it is an easy fix
